1997 Porsche 911 Turbo Coupe 2-door 3.6l on 2040-cars
Chicago, Illinois, United States
|
The 1997 Porsche 911 (993) Turbo is a very rare vehicle - only 1,048 of the Turbo edition were ever imported into the United States. It's the last air-cooled edition built. Per Wikipedia: "993 Turbo models, because of raw power, reliability and their nature as the final air-cooled 911 Turbo cars still command a massive premium." I have owned this particular car since 1998, at which time I purchased it with roughly 1000 miles on the odometer. I'm absolutely in love with the car, deeply appreciating the innovation and quality of design and build poured into the vehicle, and I certainly never thought I'd sell it, but with three kids and a cross-country move coming up, my wife finally convinced me. :)
Feature-wise, the paint color is Guards Red, so people will definitely see you coming. The interior is black leather with aluminum accents (gauge faces, shifter, Turbo-style kick plates) and black carpeting and carpeted floor mats. The transmission is the six-speed manual (and the shifter is absolutely the smoothest I've ever operated). Several years ago, I had the suspension professionally upgraded and lowered for improved handling and better ride quality. I also replaced the stock audio system (which is poor by today's standards) with an ultra-high-end system, including very high quality high-power amps, an Alpine head unit and a subwoofer mounted under the driver's side rear seat. The system incorporates full iPhone integration to enable music on the phone to be navigated and played through the system as well as bluetooth hands-free phone support. All of this work is reversible if desired. The car is in excellent condition - I've definitely driven it, but I've also taken great care of it, and all systems work properly. I recently replaced all of the HVAC servos (as well as other parts of the HVAC system), when one servo started to fail, so the HVAC system is in brand-new condition. I also just had a major maintenance service on the vehicle. When I originally took possession, I had clear protective film installed in all the key areas of the body to protect the paint and glass. It drives phenomenally - very much the same as the day I took possession - uncanny throttle response and acceleration (0-60 mph in 3.9s, top speed of approximately 195 mph) aided by the four-wheel-drive and sophisticated traction system. It has always been in a smoke-free environment. NOTE: if you use Autocheck to verify the history of the vehicle, you'll see that they list the odometer at 115,000 miles. It's incorrect - the mileage is 53,278, as indicated above and shown in the photos. CarFax already corrected the error, but Autocheck has not. This error was the result of an emission check station attendant incorrectly hand-entering the odometer reading. I very much hope that the person who purchases my car loves it and enjoys driving it as much as I have! |

'Born of a Blue Sky' brings the Amelia Island Concours to you
Fri, 03 May 2013The Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance has more clout every year and is getting a reputation as Pebble Beach minus the madness. Held in March this year, it celebrated Ducati and the 50-year anniversaries of Lamborghini, the Corvette Sting Ray, Porsche 911 and the Ford GT40.
Justin Lapriore was there, and seemingly everywhere, getting footage of the various wares on display on the lawns and the sand and the runway. The resulting video, Born of a Blue Sky, is a 16-minute survey of some of the finer sights and plenty of engine sounds. Check it out below.
2016 Porsche 911 GT3 RS prowls into Geneva with biggest NA engine in the 911 range [w/video]
Tue, Mar 3 2015We've been waiting for the debut of this road-going and race-ready Porsche 911 GT3 RS for quite some time now. As is typical for high-profile sports machines, the new 911 has been foreshadowed with spy shots and information leaks aplenty, all pointing to this grand day at Geneva. Here she is. Just a glance at the duct-sliced bodywork and massive rear wing will tell you that this Porsche means business, but let's look at its bona fides. The heart of the matter, under that short rear deck, is the largest-displacement and most powerful naturally aspirated engine in the 911 family, with 500 horsepower and 338 pound-feet of torque developed by the 4.0-liter flat-six. That hoss of an engine is mated to a newly developed version of Porsche's PDK dual-clutch gearbox – with functions such as "paddle neutral" that effectively works like depressing the clutch on a standard manual, and a Pit Speed button for on the track. Working in concert, engine and trans allow the GT3 RS to sprint to 60 miles per hour in 3.1 seconds, hit a quarter mile in 11.2, and lap the Nurburgring Nordschleife in just seven minutes, 20 seconds. (That 'Ring time makes it the fastest current 911 around the benchmark course, and five seconds faster than the current 911 GT3 – so quick.) Weight has been saved via exotic materials; the car sports a magnesium roof and carbon fiber for the trunk and engine lids. Overall the RS is 22 pounds lighter than the GT3, but also boasts a lower center of gravity. As we said at the top, there's a wide, low and aggressive body kit on the GT3 RS, all engineered with racing performance in mind. That huge rear wing is balanced in the front by a deep chin spoiler, and the front wheel arches have been punctuated with vents that help to increase downforce on the front axle. The roll cage is the most obvious interior modification to let one know that this is a racing tool, but Porsche has also slathered the space in Alcantara and installed carbon-fiber bucket seats (based on those found in the 918 Spyder) to drive the point home. The cost of such racing glory will be steep at $175,900 plus a $995 destination charge, but not out of the scope of the current ask for the 911 range, when you consider that a Turbo S runs over $180k. Look for 911 GT3 RS deliveries to start in July of this year in the US, and for track days to be more competitive for the addition.

Watch Finnish hoons drift a Porsche, a motorcycle and a snowmobile on ice
Tue, Feb 10 2015We're figure the guys in Finland's Stunt Freaks Team see this video as three minutes of freewheeling snow drifting with a Triumph Daytona motorcycle on snow tires, a Porsche 911 GT3 rally car and a Polaris RMK snowmobile. We, however, like to think of it as a mini-documentary on the winter habits of bipedal Finnish mammals, who display a curious set of winter habits that fascinate us no matter how many times we see them. Admittedly, if we lived conveniently close to Rovaniemi, set smack-dab on the border of the Arctic Circle in Finland's Lapland, we'd do the same thing. The title says it all, save for there also being a side-by-side that was probably the camera car. It's missing the huge roostertails, but it's got a crash and a wheelie to make up for it.
